1:18 scale. The change in the market and approach from the manufacturers was clear after Holden pulled its funding from motorsport at the end of the 1979 season and as a result of this, Peter Brock purchased the Holden Dealer Team. In order to fund the racing team, Brock’s team along with a network of Holden Dealers conceived a plan where modified road cars would be designed and built by Brock and HDT Special Vehicles were born.
The VC HDT was the first example of one of these cars being produced. With heavy mechanical modifications and exterior styling by design guru Leo Pruneau. To make the car appear similar to the Group C cars seen on the race track, the VC HDT both looked and drove significantly better than the stock standard Commodore from which it was based. The 4.2 litre V8 was upgraded to a 5.0 litre V8 and that, alongside a raft of other upgrades saw the performance improve significantly.
Produced in die-cast with fully opening parts, highly detailed engine bay, interior and outstanding finishing, this is a model that shouldn’t be missed by any Holden or muscle car fan.
